Lovely reflections, great colours too. Canada looks like a landscape photographers dream, with so many amazing views and stunning vistas. If I can be super critical I'd have maybe seen if there was a way to get either above or in front of the foreground foliage for a slightly cleaner image but it's still really pretty!
I like the concept here, however the sloping horizon and composition need a bit of tweaking. When photographing water or the sea, remember that it always needs to be level. I think had you got the water level, and maybe a tigher crop with the rope coming out from the bottom left corner I'd have included this in the top 10!
Portland Bill lighthouse has been on my hit list for a while now, it looks like a fantastic place to photograph. The square crop works well here, and I like the black and white conversion. Timing it so you caught the wave crashing was crucial, as this definitely wouldn't have the same impact without it!
This looks like an awesome view, one that definitely makes me want to walk past those trees to get a better look! My only criticism is that the figure looks to be struggling to see past the trees! I think had you stepped maybe a foot to the right so they were separated from the trees it would be stronger but still a great memory to have!
Ordinarily, I'd avoid photos with so much sky in, however I had to include this in the top 10 as it just looks beautiful. I love the way the Matterhorn just looks so small, despite its monumental size. I think had the sky been completely blue it wouldn't work but those cloudy hold enough interest to keep it how it is! Good job

Unmistakable dolomites, I'm guessing this was taken in or around October as the colours in the trees are starting to change. I've taken a few shots like this while travelling through the dolomites as they just look so nice. I'd have maybe cropped a tiny bit off the bottom but it's only a small critique. Nicely done :)

I think this shot definitely has potential, when working with scenes that are symmetrical it's good to take advantage of that. I'd have loved to see this shot straight down the middle! Take care when processing too as there looks to be a bit of a halo around the top of the trees. Still a nice photo though and worthy of a commendation! :)
